Artesania RMS Titanic Life Boat

The RMS Titanic, owned by the White Star Line, was the largest and most luxurious liner of her time. During her first trip between Southampton and New York, she struck an iceberg and sank on the night of 15th April, 1912. The Titanic was designed to carry 32 lifeboats but when it sank was only carrying 20 boats, clearly insufficient for all passengers and crew. Compounding the dimensions of the tragedy, many of these boats were launched half empty.
